I see the new co-presenter on Pointless tonight is Lauren Laverne. Had to Google her as I wasn’t sure who she was. Wonder if it will keep getting filled with temporary people or if they’ll eventually get someone permanent. Must admit, I am quite enjoying seeing new faces.

Like Prime Ministers?

I have a and a chocolate chip biskit.

Poor man has Parkinson’s though

Horrible disease and no two cases are the same. Some stay mild for a long time but not all and very demoralising for all concerned. Mobility varies and not all get the “ shakes” so not obvious sometimes.
We had a Church of Scotland minister locally who got around on an upright trike but at funerals the undertaker had a man at his elbows on either side in case he toppled forward.
Some visiting yobs started making fun of him on a ferry once but the local junior shinty team who had just won a match soon sorted them out without too much injury. A cayman is a fearsome thing.
I unfortunately am a minor expert on Parkinson’s.
Re the yobs It used to be thought that taking delinquents to places like this was good for them. Free holiday.

Time to feed the cats and then it will be time to feed me.

I need to sort out clothes for a wedding. Not been to a wedding in years.

I received my driving licence photocard renewal reminder today. Having had a quick look online, the good news is that they can use the picture on file from my passport application so I don't need to send in a new one. The even better news is that that picture was taken some time at the start of 2015 and so when I get to 60 years old, my driving licence photo will be of me as a 'youthful' 50 year old

We are now having an argument here ! I insist that the candy floss stick is a candy sticks ! SWMBO says that a candy stick is a stick of candy ! I say that that would be a stick of rock !

D. I. V. O. R. C. E THAT'S WHAT CANDY DID FOR ME...

As a change from clicking traffic lights to prove I am human, tonight I get to click on lions.

Local boyracers are out in force tonight again by the sounds of it. Petrol is obviously still too cheap.

It's funny but every car I have ever had, I've tried to make as quiet as it possibly can be. Why make it as loud as possible? I can only assume these people never actually go on a long journey.

I think I got quite lucky with the weather today - loads of rain, but all while I was at work. Based on the forecast on Wednesday evening, the waterproofs had been prepared for the morning ride in but it was a really warm & dry start to the day so they went into the pannier ready for the forecast afternoon showers on the ride home. Which turned out to be done under clear and sunny skies.

No more work until November as I have next week off.

Madam Lexi informs me she would like one of those swish ministerial red boxes.

Just to sit in I take it?

As a change from clicking traffic lights to prove I am human, tonight I get to click on lions.

Horses, zebra crossings and busses on occasions as well. I wish they'd use better quality pics for the lions.

 

[Reynard]

Home made fish (hake) & chips tonight, with a tomato salad and a generous dollop of equally home made tartare sauce. Oh, and I had a nice bowl of soup to start with, too...

*stuffed*

Just to sit in I take it?

Yes Madam LOVES boxes.

Well, to be fair, I reckon she could do a better job than some of the clowns currently in possession of a red box. I'm still holding out for Larry the Cat to become PM.
